OK had enough of using the included usb wired headset and thinking of getting a BT one.
Don't want to have to take yet another charger on the road with me so want usb charge connector.
Have looked at Jabra BT620s as it is USB charge and can also be used as a USB wired pc headset
Any recommendations of mini USB charge BT stereo headsets and if they can also be used as a PC usb wired headset.
Thanks

I am currently connecting my TC to the car stereo through one of those casettes that have an audio jack connection and the YC A120 cable. The problem with this solution is that I get a lot of annoying noise when the phone is lloking for a cell signal.
So I thought about buyinng one of those car stereos that have a frontal USB port for aux connection. I went to a shop recently and tried one out ad to my surprise I could not get it to work with the TC, it would seem that there is no audio output. Has anyone been able to connect their TC to the car stereo in this way? The salesman demonstrated that the stereo connnection did work by connection his Nokia phone and it work fine. One thing I did notice was that the Nokia phone displayed a message "transfering data" as teh music was playing.
I don't want to buy a bluletooth car stereo since I am looking at changing my car soon. So the other option is to buy a car stereo with a frontal audio 3.5 jack aux connection, but i was wondering whx the USB did not work.
I think you must try WM5TORAGE ... you must plug a USB key on the USB port, so if you install and activate WM5TORAGE, your POLARIS seems like a USB storage and your autoradio can scan your folder on your storage card.
I don't test but i think it will work.
Greg O is correct, the USB input on car stereos works only for mass storage. WM phones don't support mass storage natively you must use a program like WM5 Storage (which incidentally doesn't work at all with the TC) or CardExport. But its prob better to either go the bluetooth or 3.5mm aux in route. Or if you really wanna do the USB thing, I would probably rather remove miniSD card from the phone and load it on the car using a USB miniSD card reader than use WM5 Storage.
FYI: Your new car won't support A2DP stock, no cars do so currently, so you'll probably want to transfer over the aftermarket radio you buy.
I used a usb mini to 3.5mm jack converter then used a 3.5mm jack to 2 RCA cable to connect to the aux in my stereo.
Becuase the usb mini to 3.5mm jack converter has a mike in as well I can use this setup for hands free use over the car speakers.
You have another solution :
Parrot MK6100 or IO Play ... you play music on your TC and music is transmit to your autoradio via stereo bluetooth A2DP !! No cable !
and you have a great handfree system... I think I will buy one of this system in the future.
I have just fitted an LG LAC7700R CD/ Radio which has a front mounted 3,5MM socket but it also sports Bluetooth A2DP along with other modes. It connects to my Orbit 2 with no problems and plays music without any wires - sounds great, just a shame its not the best looking deck available, but for £124 new its not bad at all - Mke

I bought this one:

works excellent with the TC and not expensive.
I've got a USB charging cradle in my car which works fine.
I use a 3.5mm cable to connect my mp3 player to the car stereo which works fine.
I tried playing music from my HD to the stereo whilst charging and I get awful white noise and a constant pinging noise. If I take the phone off the charger it works fine. I can't find anything in the wiki or forums and I've seen some people on other forums with the same problem.
Anyone know what is wrong with this setup or I need a different spec cable (I guess its a standard stereo 3.5mm cable, so 3 contacts and I think the HTC one has 4 coz of the mic, but it works fine when I stop charging it. I guess it could also be a problem with the pins on the USB charger, but I thought the HD didn't have the extUSB connection.
I'm off to the USA on Sunday with a hire car so it would be really handy to be able to charge and play music!
I had an ipod connected to my stereo through a cord that is run into the back of my glove box. The end is a USB connection so i figured my phone should work fine. When i plug it in it recognizes it and starts to charge my phone but on my deck it says no audio and i cant play any of my music. If anybody has some suggestions im all ears, Thanks!
The Motorola Vehicle Dock comes with a USB charging cable that has an inline 3.5mm jack out. You may need this or something similar to get audio out to your car speakers via USB.
Note: If you buy the Moto dock, do not buy it from AT&T. They remove the charger and package it separately forcing you to spend more money. Buy the Motorola packaged version instead.
Also, try changing the storage modes when connected. I believe Mass Storage is the correct setting, but could be wrong.
i dont think it will work. see those types or systems are formatted to work with ipod or a direct usb dongle.
i have the some type of thing in my svu but i have both usb and aux i just use the aux.
I connected Atrix to my Pioneer deck and it automatically recognized it as usb storage and played my songs as expected. With the car dock and cable it won't play music over usb, just through the 3.5mm jack.
Did you enable usb storage mode?

That's how I do it when travelling and renting cars. Works fine with 3.5mm jack if the head unit in the vehicle has an aux input.

I believe I already asked this!
I have the same problem with my pioneer deck. Instead of connecting USB for music ill just use Bluetooth from my phone to my deck and play music.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I'm having the same issue with my Atrix + a Pionner sound system on my car. The phone keeps on disconnecting and reconecting. No, I don't use the iPod/phone dock, but just the USB connection. The Atrix won't even charge because it's always enabling/disabling the USB.
When travelling, I have used an audio y-splitter to hook up two headphones so that me and my girlfriend can listen to a movie at the same time. How can I accomplish this without a headphone jack? I have seen some 3.5mm + USB C dongles on Amazon that claim to charge the phone while hooked up to a headphone. However, nobody claims to be able to listen to audio from both ports. Is this possible at all?
use the USBC to 1/8 adapter that came with the box, then plug in your 1/8 y-adapter
That's what I wanted to avoid. It looks ridiculous with all these adapters. Any way to have Bluetooth and the USB C headphone going simultaneously?
got my Note in July last year and after an update it stopped staying connected to my earphones by aux. If I push it 80% of the way in then it's connected but if I move it 1mm out or in then it loses connection. I got some bluetooth earphones instead but they broke now and I really like my wired earphones. I've tried some USB-C to 3.5mm adapters but from what I understand the Note 9s doesn't support them? Does anyone else have this issue? I read somewhere that 3.5mm to USB-C adapters with DAC should work, could anyone confirm that?
